Concretion Faceted

A faceted calculus is a type of calculus that forms on the surface of the kidney or other organs of the urinary system, with a tight fit to other calculi.

Concretions (stones) are the result of metabolic disorders in the body. They can form in the kidneys, bladder or ureters. When stones are present, a person experiences pain, discomfort, and other symptoms that can be hazardous to health.

Faceted stones have a flat surface, which is formed due to close contact with each other. They are a group of stones that are located nearby and form a single block. Faceted stones can come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but are usually small in size and shaped like an oval or circle.

To treat faceted stones, the method of lithotripsy is used - crushing stones using ultrasound or laser. This method allows you to break the stones into small fragments, which are then removed from the body through the urinary tract.

It is important to note that faceted stones do not always require treatment. In some cases, they do not cause any symptoms and do not threaten health. However, if you have symptoms associated with kidney or ureteral stones, you should consult a doctor and undergo an examination to determine an accurate diagnosis and choose the optimal treatment method.

Faceted calculus is a type of stone that forms in the urinary tract when small particles remain in it for a long time. This occurs as a result of a malfunction of the urinary system, which can be caused by serious diseases, for example, urolithiasis.

This stone consists of phosphate and carbonate components. It is characterized by a flat facade and uneven projections of the side surfaces. The stone received this name due to its ability to form facets on flat surfaces due to its tight fit to other stones.

Faceted stones pose a danger to human health because they can cause the development of acute inflammation of the genitourinary system, blocking the outflow of urine. When small particles of stone get stuck at the entrance to the urethra, a person is unable to empty his bladder completely. As a result, after a few hours he feels the need to forcefully expel urine. The larger the stone, the less space a person has for normal urination and self-cleaning of the bladder. In addition, faceted stones can cause pain and discomfort.

The presence of stones is indicated by painful sensations when urinating and urinary contractions, weakness, malaise and fatigue, an increased content of leukocytes in the urine, its density and color, and other signs. To establish a diagnosis, you should consult a urologist, undergo an ultrasound and laboratory tests.

Removal of a faceted stone is possible in several ways - endoscopic contact lithotripsy (using a special wire) and surgical removal. The second method is the most effective, but sometimes requires general anesthesia. Surgery is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia. During surgery, the doctor removes the stone from the patient's bladder and examines the kidneys for additional stones. Sometimes complications are possible after this procedure, so the person undergoes the postoperative period under the supervision of a specialist.
